This is a well observed story about the growing confidence of a young boy

The style is accessibly undemanding, yet captivating at the appropriate level

The dialogue is concise, with a good balance of simple and challenging vocabulary. The plot is tight but the outcome is not predicatable

Shredder . . . stands out from the crowd - a first reader with a good plot, lively dialogue and engaging characters

A delightful tale from the celebrated author

Tummy-wobbling humour

This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home

The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke

A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale
